For an advanced camera like the Canon EF, Silicon Photocell metering was an obvious choice. With the camera set for the correct ASA and for Automatic Exposure (AE)-the photograpner simply clicks the Shutter Speed Dial. Then, when the Shutter Release is pressed, the lens diaphragm closes just enough to give precisely the exposure determined by the Silicon Photocell.

A good guide is to multiply the ASA rating by the number of exposures to be put on the frame. For a quadruple exposure on ASA 100 film, use ASA 400 (i.e. 100 multiplied by 4).

Recording two or more images on a single frame is extremely simple with the Canon EF. Merely take a picture, then stroke the Winding Lever while depressing the Multiple Exposure Button in the center of the main On-Off Switch. This cocks the shutter without advancing the film. Simply repeat the procedure before each shot.

When light strikes the Silicon Photocell, the signal fluctuates rapidly. The signal is unsuited for precise meter operation. Thus, the Log Diode converts the signal to a more suitable one with regular pulsations.

A common weakness of electronic shutter cameras is the fluctuations caused by temperature changes. The Canon EF continues to functi9n perfectly in both extreme heat and cold. It has a built-in voltage stabilizer to insure meter precision. Accurate automatic exposures are obtained under severe temperature conditions ranging from -20°C to +60oC (-4°F to +1400 F). (Fig. 9)

The oscillator serves a dual function. Besides causing the Light Emitting Diode to blink as a battery check, it signals (via the LED) during exposures over one second.
